Letter to David Hubbert, Assistant Attorney General of the tax division, Department of Justice

On September 14, 2023, you had attended the meeting with Advisory Committee on
Bankruptcy Rules held in Washington D.C., in person along with Bankruptcy Judge Catherine Peek McEwen from the Middle District in Tampa, Florida. What you may not know is that during the past four years, Judge McEwen has failed to follow the very rules of the committee that she sits on, including failing to report clear instances of tax fraud; further aiding in and concealing ongoing abuses and crimes committed against me and my family as outlined below. Furthermore, in my bankruptcy case, Trustee Christine Herendeen, Region 21 U.S. Trustee Steven Pralle, J. Steven Wilkes, and Nicole Peiar completely abandoned their duties to “serve as bankruptcy watch-dogs to prevent fraud, dishonesty, and overreaching in the bankruptcy arena.

Deputy Assistant Attorney General

Dear Mr. Hubbert;
On September 14, 2023, you had attended the meeting with Advisory Committee on
Bankruptcy Rules held in Washington D.C., in person along with Bankruptcy Judge Catherine
Peek McEwen from the Middle District in Tampa, Florida. What you may not know is that
during the past four years, Judge McEwen has failed to follow the very rules of the committee
that she sits on, including failing to report clear instances of tax fraud; further aiding in and
concealing ongoing abuses and crimes committed against me and my family as outlined below.
Furthermore, in my bankruptcy case

, Trustee Christien Herendeen, Region 21 U.S. Trustee
Steven Pralle, J. Steven Wilkes , and Nicole Peiar completely abandoned their duties to “serve as
bankruptcy watch-dogs to prevent fraud, dishonesty, and overreaching in the bankruptcy arena.”

In his June 8, 2017 statement before the Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform,
Commercial and Antitrust Law Committee on the Judiciary U.S. House of Representatives,
Director Clifford J. White III wrote, “[t]he USTP carries out a broad range of administrative,
regulatory, and enforcement activities that are critical to the proper functioning of the bankruptcy
system… Protecting the rights of all stakeholders relies, in significant measure, on the neutral
United States Trustee enforcing the law as written by the Congress. And ferreting out fraud and
abuse depends on the Program serving as the vigilant “watchdog” of the bankruptcy
system.” How can the U.S. Trustee’s Office combat creditor abuse and professional misconduct
when its own employees abandon its duties and instead engage in misconduct?
On November 18, 2020, with the appearances by Christine Herendeen and Steven Pralle,
at the 341 Meeting, I confirmed that I was last employed in the year 2012 and had not filed a tax
return since 2013. I also gave notice that I am a disabled person , as defined under the Code of

Federal Regulations §404.1505, who has collected Social Security Disability since 2015
(Transcript of 341 Meeting located in Adv. Doc. 268).
At the same time, Herendeen and Pralle permitted attorneys from the Solomon Law
Group to appear in my bankruptcy falsely alleging that their client, DGP Products, Inc. d/b/a
Numeric Racing, was my employer since 2015, claiming that I was paid “regular and established
wage compensation.” (Adv. Doc. 1, fn. 4). Upon review of the Dischargeability Complaint, the
Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee’s Office would have complete knowledge that DGP and
its attorney’s had no business appearing as a “creditor” and upon conflicting statements at the
341 Meeting there was an obvious question of fraud being committed by one of the parties (28
U.S.C. § 586.)
Herendeen made several misrepresentations throughout my bankruptcy case, including by
stating that, “the 341 meeting in this case was conducted and concluded on November 18, 2020.”
(Bkr. Doc. 27). Herendeen did not want to allude that she had continued the meeting on
December 15, 2020, without any notice to my true creditors, after Trustee Mr. Pralle claimed to
have more questions for me. Mr. Pralle did not show up, instead DGP’s attorney’s along with
Herendeen appeared with my ex-boyfriend, Daniel Geberth, the owner of DGP, who interrogated
me on their employment allegations while I specifically referred to the active Injunction Against
Dating Violence granted against him. Geberth made these unfounded claims after I fled an
abusive five-year relationship. As stated in my Closing Argument Brief, Geberth and his
accountant, Ashana Ramdial of Cohen & Grieb altered his companies books and added me as an
employee shortly after I ended the relationship with his desire to transfer a tax liability of his
purchases (Adv. Doc 1054).
Five days prior to the continued meeting that was more like an unscheduled 2004
examination, Stanford Solomon of the Solomon Law Group created a Proof of Claim [7-1]. One
hour after the December meeting, Herendeen demanded that I, a bankrupt and disabled Debtor
reliant on a fixed income pay a lump sum amount of over $5000 within 30 days or to sell my sole
vehicle secured by a lien through Carvana based upon unfounded transfers of “certain items of
personal property, including but not limited to, giving away a Cannondale bicycle to a family
friend in January or February of 2020, giving away a Louis Vuitton purse to her sister at some
time in the past four years, throwing away a Michael Kors purse, and giving a cricket

machine to her daughter.” (Bkr. Doc. 27), see attached. None of these items were mine, are
found on DGP’s bank statements, and at the continued meeting I testified that the Cricut machine
was gifted to my daughter by Daniel Geberth. I did not testify to any transfers occurring within
the 90 days prior to the date that I filed my bankruptcy petition nor did Herendeen file a
presumption of abuse. Additionally, the questions asked during the continued meeting were for
items that DGP was suing me for, which also appear in the amounts listed on the 1099’s that
Geberth and his accountant created under the new Contract Labor category in DGP’s
QuickBooks account (Adv. Doc. 450).
In her Motion to Approve Compromise of Controversy filed after I was forced to sell my
sole vehicle to Carvana that was secured by a lien with Kia Financial, Herendeen falsely
represented: The Debtor filed a petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on or
about October 13, 2020, and the 341 meeting in this case was conducted and concluded on
November 18, 2020. (Doc. 27, ¶ 1) After receipt of the Carvana check, Herendeen falsely
represents: It is the Trustee’s position the 2016 Kia Forte has a value of no less than $7,950.00
pursuant to a Carvana offer provided by the Debtor and the payoff is $3,108.44, leaving non-
exempt equity of $3,841.56. Carvana had directly paid off the lien directly to Kia. Herendeen and
Dammer coerced me to sell my sole vehicle that was property of the estate. (Doc. 27, ¶ 4)
Herendeen requested Judge McEwen to deceive my creditors by requesting “limited
service to the Debtor, Debtor’s attorney, the Trustee, Trustee’s attorney (Herendeen herself),
other parties to the proposed transaction.” A request that Judge McEwen granted on February 25,
2021, directing me to cooperate with the sale of the Kia to Carvana by no later than January 29,
2021 (Doc. 35). Herendeen filed her proof of service of Judge McEwen’s Order granting the
Motion to Approve Compromise only to U.S. Trustee in Tampa, FL, Gino Megna who no longer
represented me in said action, Samantha Dammer via CM/ECF, and myself via first-class mail
(Doc. 36).
On April 16, 2021, DGP files its Response (Bkr. Doc. 47) to my Objection (Bkr. Doc. 46)
to DGP’s Proof of Claim (Claim 7-1), falsely represented that the Bankruptcy Court had
jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 133 and falsely represented that venue was proper
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. The State Court case was never removed to District
Court and there is no Article III judge supervising the case. I never consented to this.

Allison Thompson, a former attorney at the Solomon Law Group made several
misrepresentations in the Objection by concealing the fact that the State Court Case was pending
a Motion to Dismiss. She admitted that the State Court Case was stayed but misrepresenting that
I had a scheduled deposition, referring to the same misrepresentation made on the
Dischargeability Complaint (Doc. 47, ¶¶ 2-3). Mrs. Thompson also falsely states, “Debtor’s
sworn schedules reflect an unsecured debt owed to Daniel Alan Geberth, (“Geberth”), who is the
principal for DGP, as part of a State Court Case. Debtor lists the amount to Geberth as unknown.
Debtor also lists DGP as an unsecured creditor, disputed creditor in the amount of $477,014.88
based on the State Court Case.” Again, I did not sign my petition that was filed electronically by
my former attorney, Gino Megna. (Doc. 47, ¶ 4) In her Response to Objection, Mrs. Thompson
refers to Rule 9011(b), admits that the underlying State Court Case is currently pending and
falsely represents that the Amended Complaint in the State Court Case was done so after a
reasonable inquiry; DGP’s claim is subject to upward modification based on continued
investigation and discovery; and DGP is not required to provide supporting documentation.
(Doc. 47, pg. 4).
On May 21, 2021, months after I fired my attorney’s and became a pro s e litigant, I filed
an Emergency Motion to Enforce the Automatic Stay, [2] Request to Award Sanctions for
Intentional and Willful Violation of the Automatic Stay and [3] Hold DGP Products, Inc. d/b/a
Numeric Racing, DGP’s Principal Daniel Geberth, and Attorneys of the Solomon Law Group in
Contempt of Court (Adv. Doc. 61). In response, J. Steven Wilkes of the Region 21 Trustees
Office e-mailed me, admitting that he had reviewed the motion and requested that I provide a
copy of the injunction against Mr. Geberth that was active since April 22, 2020. (see attached
email).
During the May 24, 2021 hearing with Herendeen in attendance, Judge McEwen refused
to review my Amended Motion to Enforce the Automatic Stay while admitting that the Pasco County civil case was active and stayed by my filing for bankruptcy, acknowledging the Pasco
County civil case was not removed to the Middle District of Florida, and therefore is an
admission that she never had jurisdiction as the Adversary Proceeding was not referred to her by
the Article III court. There was absolutely no oversight or supervision of the case by an
Article III judge, nor did Judge McEwen have any ability to enter any orders or liquidate a

5. 5

“debt” that never existed in the first place as the Pasco County civil case was stayed
pending an unanswered Motion to Dismiss. The attorneys on both sides continued to conduct
unrestricted and undisclosed discovery into the private, financial affairs of myself and my family
members without any authority to do so and certainly without my consent while producing it to a
man who had an active injunction imposed against him and was facing criminal stalking charges.
Instead, my family and I was further financially abused, medically harmed, and terrorized
in the Bankruptcy Court’s bid to push me to settle by a complete walk away and stripped us of
every Constitutionally guaranteed right in an attempted to prosecute me for alleged crimes made
by a man who has a history of fraud and DV abuse. By reviewing the docket and filings, you will
see the outright refusal and obstruction to produce documents they claimed in their possession
since the day I ended the relationship in November 2019, including the Proof of Claim.
Judge McEwen refused to sanction or dismiss the case and protected attorney Stanford
Solomon who filed the proof of claim without documentation. Herendeen and the U.S. Trustees
Office did not investigate any of the proof of c laims filed, I did not receive any of the exemptions
afforded to me, the US Trustee did not investigate DGP’s allegations while Herendeen
abandoned her duties and admits collusion in her statement to Judge McEwen, “should I file a
formal – would you prefer it if I file a formal objection? …And one of the claims is that I’m not
objecting to the proof of claim, which I had planned to do at today’s hearing… I can file a formal
objection and perhaps submit an agreed order with Ms. Thompson that it’ll be resolved
through the adversary.” The U.S. Trustee and Herendeen completely abandoned their duties
under Section 323 and continued to assist the attorney’s of the Solomon Law Group and the
Bankruptcy Court by hiding the fraud within its hands

.
Judge McEwen then decided that the employment and tax claims were not relevant to the
proceeding, ignoring every pleading made on the Complaint. How does that work? There was no
question why a corporation claiming an employment relationship had unrestricted access

The Law of Trusts and Trustees states [a] trustee is under a duty to the beneficiary of the trust to administer the
trust solely in the interest of the beneficiary. The trustee must exclude all self -interest, as well as the interest of a
third party, in his administration of the trust solely for the benefit of the beneficiary. The trustee must not place
himself in a position where his own interests or that of another enters into conflict, or may possibly conflict, with the
interest of the trust or its beneficiary. Put another way, the trustee may not enter into a transaction or take or continue
in a position in which his personal interest or the interest of a third party is or becomes adverse to the interest of the
beneficiary."

into my financial affairs, who was complaining that I was on Social Security and on matters
that had nothing to do with a corporate entity or an entity that was claiming an employment
relationship. Judge McEwen held me hostage and continued the financial abuse in bankruptcy by
refusing to discharge my bankruptcy and permitting DGP to step into the trustees shoes for two
years on the basis of the same unfounded Louis Vuitton and other “transfers” that Herendeen
forced me to sell my sole vehicle. The entire adversary proceeding is full of filings and
statements in open court of attorney dog-whistles with apparent communications of how they
proceeded in a collusive effort.
Judge McEwen, Herendeen, and the Region 21 U.S. Trustee conceals and attempts to
protect Stanford Solomon who knowingly and fraudulently presented a false claim for proof,
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 152(4), permitting discovery to continue even though Stanford Solomon
includes a revised Civil theft demand letter claiming DGP can validate the entire amount in
DGP’s Complaint (see Exhibit F of the Complaint). Throughout the proceedings, Solomon Law
continues to remove transactions from the Complaint while Judge McEwen aids in the
obstruction (Doc. 720).
On August 29, 2022, Judge McEwen inferred knowledge of frauds by the Solomon Law
Group on behalf of Geberth as DGP Products by stating, “Is that relevant as to the credibility
and the process, because there’s been an inference that those 1099’s were created fraudulently and with no purpose other than to establish, if you will, a case for
embezzlement.”
On September 2021, Brad Kanter of Kanter & Associates uses an envelope typic ally used
for greeting cards to conceal W-2’s for the years 2015-2019. The tax forms contain my social
security number and were eventually filed on my tax record. I never worked for DGP or received
this income. Judge McEwen and Herendeen failed to report bankruptcy fraud and crimes to the
Unites States Attorney pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3057(a). The Interim Reports filed by chapter 7
trustee Herendeen lists a labor and wage cause of action against DGP Products, Inc. and
avoidable preference litigation (ref # 11 -12). Herendeen and the Bankruptcy Court aided DGP in
the theft of my estate and Herendeen violated Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7001. There are inconsistencies
in her report and I never received any exemptions. Herendeen does not serve the Interim
Report to any of my true creditors, showing her intent to transfer the funds to DGP .

7. 7

I was forced to appear in multiple cases by the continuation of this frivolous proceeding,
while every attorney and law firm refused to step in or to expose this torment while my health
issues worsened. My family members, friends, and I witnessed and were exposed to threats while
we were continuously subjected to the production of false evidence and testimony by the
Solomon Law Group who, along with Judge McEwen, used threats to strike my pleadings by
using my fears of Geberth. Judge McEwen and Stanford Solomon demanded that I confirm
current information obtained on a CLEAR report consisting of 136 pages during a third
deposition, refusing to allow me to sit with any witnesses, a deposition she thoroughly
participated in. Terrifying that these people have all this information in a warrantless search for
information that should have never been in anyone’s hands in the first place.
It appears on public record that the employees of the U.S. Trustees Office work in
collusion with attorneys of the Tampa Bay Bankruptcy Bar Association, who appear together in a
plethora of committees, including the Business Law Section of the Florida Bar, along with
judges of a willing bankruptcy court in the Middle District of Florida, use their positions against
the interests of the judicial system as a whole and in complete disregard of every statute, rule,
and law known in the country. How are citizens of the United States protected in an outright
abuse of power? I would hope that you are concerned with the appearance of a judge on the
Advisory Committee who willfully ignores the same Rules that she advises on, as I believe this
conduct is not representative of the members who sits on the Advisory Committee as a whole.
I lost four years of my life that will most likely lead to my early death as Judge McEwen
continues to actively sit on this case while my family members and I continue to experience
perceived manipulation by attorneys tied to Judge McEwen that is documented on my website,
stopthisabuse.com. The misconduct and abuses at the hands of Judge McEwen, the attorneys at
the Region 21 U.S. Trustees Office and the Bankruptcy Court in the Middle District of Florida,
Tampa is so egregious, it cannot be confined to this leng thy letter.
Can you imagine this occurring to your loved ones? I am sure any person would beyond
shocked and saddened that this is how our judicial system conducts itself as Judge McEwen
engaged, participated, and encouraged the fraud including by telling me that I don’t have
the right to privacy, de manding that I turnover my cell phone to search for my location, she
even demanded TikTok to produce my direct messages directly to her chambers within a 24

8. 8

hours period to “find out what I was doing during the time I was supposed to appear for a
deposition.” My health worsened as I presented severe neurological issues as she maintained a
fifteen-day trial lasting over a year while refusing to address most of the motions I filed. I was
gaslighted to believe that I HAD TO appear in this action, while her longtime friend, Stanford
Solomon, admitted in his filings of criminal conduct. Again, this is all thoroughly documented on
my website, stopthisabuse.com .
I hope and encourage that you will choose to refer and investigate the matter presented
before you in this letter and as found thoroughly documented on my website. Congress depends
and relies on the Tax Division component of the U.S. DOJ and the USTP to investigate and
address the abuses found within the judiciary. Thank you for your time in this matter.
Sincerely,

Faith E. Antonio
